Kickstart Lab, based in Delft's dynamic Cable District, has reached an important milestone by receiving a grant worth 457,380 euros from the Metropoolregio Rotterdam Den Haag (MRDH). This financial contribution will enable the organization to strengthen its mission - to support young entrepreneurs and students and thereby improve the connection between education and the labor market - over the next three years.

"Education faces great challenges, especially in the area of technology and BETA subjects. We saw that as an opportunity to contribute something," says Mick (26), co-founder of NUVO. Together with Bas (27) and two other students, he started NUVO over three and a half years ago with a mission: to use engineering students to innovate education and inspire students. What began as a small initiative has since grown into an organization with impact, creative collaborations, and a clear vision: making technology accessible to everyone in education.
